Project Runway gets most of the love, but I actually preferred 2007’s edition of Top Chef, which returned last night. This season? I have no idea; it usually takes a couple episodes to get a sense of how interesting the cast is. But the debut episode did not disappoint, with the requisite “molecular gastronomist,” the requisite screw-ups (dude! I know what chicken piccata is!) and the requisite guy who is already annoying the crap out of me (Andrew, who unironically calls people “cat”). I’ll leave the spoilerage to the comments, but what do you think so far of the Chicago Deep Dish edition so far?
